However, the deal is still a year away and subject to regulatory lobbying and bribery.
True, but subject is the key word. It might not happen... right?
How about displaying your sponsorship with logoware? You know, a hat with a Nike logo and a shirt with a Reebok logo?
I think we're already there. Maybe not so much from "fashionable" brands, but as a college student I find myself in position of a lot of freebies - shirts, bags, etc. Even though I am not being paid to wear them, I still receive compensation, namely the item itself. I have shirts for apartment complexes I don't live at, but who cares? I still wear them when I go to the store.
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
